RANCHO EL PETACAL<br />
Jalisco, Mexico<br />
Rancho El Petacal, located in southwestern<br />
Mexico, has the ideal growing climate with plenty<br />
of sunshine and rainfall – the perfect conditions<br />
for growing nutrient-rich plants for existing<br />
<strong>NUTRILITE</strong> ® products, and for growing test<br />
plots for research.<br />
Located on 1,400 acres, which are all certified<br />
100% organic, the farm is a major source of<br />
jobs for the small community of El Petacal. Our<br />
commitment to sustainability goes beyond the<br />
fields of El Petacal. Reforestation programs<br />
have helped increase biodiversity and maintain<br />
the natural equilibrium of the area.<br />
PRIMARY CROPS<br />
Primary crops grown at Rancho El Petacal include lemons, red grapefruit, mandarin oranges,<br />
watercress, parsley, spinach, garlic, and alfalfa. As with all <strong>NUTRILITE</strong> farms, organic farming practices<br />
help to ensure that the phytonutrients in the crops are at their uppermost protective levels. Below, you’ll<br />
see the primary phytonutrient each crop is known for, as well as the health benefits they provide.<br />
